Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought they were talking about The Last Voyage of The Demeter.

This seems fun. Universal's commitment to producing movies with wacky concepts recently (this, Violent Night, M3GAN, Cocaine Bear) is something to be admired.

Yeah the film seems closer to "Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein" then the Bela Lugois "Dracula".

I saw the trialer, and they are most definelty playing this for laughs. And it looks as if they might  in getting them . I laughed throuhut the trailer.

Will this end Universal’s fun run of Violent Night, M3GAN & Cocaine Bear, or will it breakout?

Buzz seems good (and i expect decent reviews since the embargo drops 15 days before release), it can open with +20M

The studio seems confident in it so far (magazine covers, early festival screenings) and the trailer always gets good reactions when I see it at the movies, so I think there's certainly room for a breakout, especially when it'll be the first horror-adjacent title - and the easiest to sell to a broad audience of all the April ones (The Pope's Exorcist feels dumpy and the very gory nature of the Evil Dead franchise is bound to limit the appeal for Rise) - since Scream.

Is this even really a horror? It looks like a straight up comedy with a whacky iteration of the Dracula character.

 

I get where you're coming from though.

It's like GHostbusters...a comedy with some horror elements.

But I would defintnly class it as a comedy.

This looks like a lot of fun and feels as refreshing as "Kingsman" when that one came out. 

I see potential for a little breakout when it turns out to be a good movie as well.

From all the trailers I have seen, it's playing it for laughs.

$86m budget apparently…
